Boil the pieces of pumpkin for 15 minutes. Crash them with a fork when they are ready. Let it cool. Soften the butter in a saucepan. Meanwhile preheat the oven (170°C/338 °F). Chop the chocolate into flakes or chunks. I kept a few bigger pieces aside to put on the surface of the cake.

In a bowl mix egg and sugar. Add the vanilla, the melted butter, the crushed pumpkin, a pinch of salt and milk. Mix well. Put the flour, the baking powder and the chocolate chips. Whip well. Butter and flour a baking. Pour the mixture and add the chopped chocolate on the top.

Bake at 170°C / 338 °F for 40 minutes but you always do the toothpick test to see if it is cooked (stick a toothpick into the cake, if it comes out clean it means that the cake is cooked, if it has dough and it wet it means that the cake needs a few more minutes).
